Depends on what you want out of an Android phone. You can't buy the Nexus One directly from Google, you can with the Nexus S though (and Best Buy). I still have the Nexus One and I really don't see myself even considering the S due to the lack of things I need (FFC is useless, plastic throws me off).

So if I buy N1 would it be upgradable to honeycomb? And is it fast compare to x10? That's what I currently have?

I have the nexus one, but if i could choose now - I'll definitely go for the Nexus S without a doubt.
The touch screen on the nexus one is abysmal. It has multiple freezing issues, and a boatload of bugs that no one is bothering to fix. It's also much slower than the S... i've had a play on my brother's S, and it's so smooth, responsive.. amazing phone.
Also, you're guaranteed to survive at least 1 Android upgrade with the Nexus S, seeing as it's the flagship google dev phone as of now. The nexus one... not sure how much longer it can go. probably a while, but that would be do to the mod community and not the official channels.
Go Nexus S and don't look back.

Yes it will. You are basically comparing phones with the same hardware, both 1 GHz, 480 x 800, 5 MP, capacitive buttons, etc. Updates should be reasonably quick depending on how Andy Rubin runs things.
Oh and the major difference being that the Nexus One has dual noise canceling mics, phones calls are going to be crisp and better for the person on the other end. The Nexus S has a front facing camera, once Skype gets on Android, it might take off.

I have the Nexus One and my wife has the Nexus S. Neither is rooted. I find the USER EXPERIENCE on the Nexus S to be MUCH BETTER than the Nexus One. Larger and brighter display that you can use outside. Not the fingerprint magnet the Nexus One is. Much smoother touch screen experience. And I don't know what all the fuss is about the plastic case vs the metal case. I find it very sturdy and it even feels better in your hand. It's faster at almost everything. You can even hear the speakerphone. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus One. But if some one ask me if i would trade it for a Nexus S... Without any hesitation YES!

Fingerprinting on the battery door. If you get fingerprints all over the Nexus One battery door, I am surprised. On the Nexus S, not so much.

I had the n1 one for about a year and upgraded to the nexus s just 2 weeks ago. I find the battery life to be amazing (full day normal use) on the nexus s. The most important improvement has been the touch screen, not cause i play games, but for typing. I noticed that im making less mistakes on the nexus s and my speed has gone up substantially, i also had gingerbread on my n1.

Go with the Motorola Atrix or a new tablet.

Tablets are for sick people.
Both Nexus phones are great and both have their problems...but nothing is perfect!

I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.
I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.
Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.
However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.

Considering buying a Note

Hi guys,
I am now a Htc Desire user. I used it for 2 years and I am considering buying a Note. I am coming from a 3.7 to a 5.3 inch screen ;-).
I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you have experience with the change of phones from a very small size like the desire to a note, screenwize? And what is your opinion about it.
2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?
3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?
4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.
As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.
THANKS!!!

I forgot to ask about the batterylife. How is the batterylife of the note? With average and heavy use?

After a day with the Note, you get really comfortable with it, and then you will never like a small screen again.
2. I used to use a lot of roms for my desire, the development was really good. How is the development of the Note? What are the improvements if you root, other than that you can change roms? So what extra functionality does the note get if you root?
Development is good. Root and Roms are the same as what you are use to on the desire.
3. What about the build quality and the quality of the speaker?
Build quality is solid. Its plastic, but it tight. The speaker is loud, especially when compared to the One X
4. What about the quality of playing movies on the Note.
I don't play many, but I enjoy the quality. Better than any other phone I have had.
Battery life gets me through my long 16 hour day with ease. Top notch
As you can see i have a couple of questions before purchasing the note.

If you think you will like the screen size, than you will immediate fall in love. If you are thinking it may be too big, than there is a tiny chance the size will put you off, but still you will most likely fall in love.
Roms are very decent, better than many of my previous phones for sure. Right now we are looking at official CM9 soon, iMilka's (discontinued) versions of AOSP and CM9 are pretty amazing all on their own though.
Build quality is basically the same as every other Samsung smart phone I have used. Very good quality, back plastics feel a little cheap to me, but other than that I have no complaints. Speaker is awesome IMO. One of the loudest phones I have owned and very good quality. The earpiece is somewhere in the middle. It's not amazing, but its good.
Watching movies/videos/games on the note is incomparable. It blows every other phone I have tried out of the water, mostly due to screen size, and my personal taste for Super AMOLED over that crap screen HTC uses (again my opinion).
Battery life - AWESOME. I get better battery life with this phone than any previous smart phone I have owned (see sig). It's still a powerful smartphone so if you use it really heavy you can still kill most of it off in a day, but with moderate usage this phone actually lasts 2 days for me, which none of my previous phones could do.

I had a desire for 18 months them I moved to the HTC sensation I got my note 3 days ago and I had the same concerns as you but I do not regret it one bit I love my phone more than any phone I have ever had

Hi crawlgsx,
Thanks for the reply. I prefer a larger screen. I travel a lot so batterylife and watching movies are important.

Note is a great start for a bigger screen
I came to Note from Dell Streak, the same display size.
Dell was pain in the as.... Every time you drop it - consider problems with screen.
The only detail I miss about Dell is MIUI theme.
Note works perfect.
I use Litening Rom v1.0
Hope MIUI will be ported))))

I would say go for it then, the chances of you being disappointed are less than 1% from the sounds of your concerns and needs.
The Note is truly an amazing phone, so much so that I have 0 interest in the upcoming S3 or the One X etc.. I will be holding off for "Note 2" and even then unless something changes I see absolutely no reason to move to another phone. The Note on ICS is blazing fast.

I realized I almost stopped visiting/reading mobile review sites. No interest in S3. I may skip Note2 too and directly go for Note3.
Sent from GNote.

If you like it at start you will be in total love in the end.. It grows on you...
When you have use a Note for a few weeks you will have hard let it go or use other phones.
I always get the new phones but in the end it is always my Note that stays and follow me everywhere..

Some do and some don't. I returned my Note because of it. It really is a great device though which made the return a very tough decision.

Guys thanks for all the replies. I decided to buy the note but one last question.
Which colour should i get? Anyone bad experience with the black or white version? And bad experience in terms of seeing scratches etc.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Although I'm not a Note owner, I'd like to share my opinion if you don't mind.
Black colors always show scratches more than white. However, deeper the cut the more it shows.
You can always buy a case If you're not completely satisfied with the color too.

i come from nokia 5800 touchscreen phone and once use g.note i fall dead for it...for my..it blow every phone in the market coz of the screen size ^_^...
as for color ...white seems to be the best as black color phone is kind of boring...haha
just my 2 cents

I have owned silver/black devices all my life until the note. Im a manly man, and thought white was for girls.
I decided to change my sgs2 from black to white when i decided to sell because it brought in more money. After seeing the white version, it openmy eyes.
I did the same conversion with my note after breaking screen(user error) and love the white even better than the black/blue now.
Just from what ive gathered from people is black makes the device seem bigger.

Don't be afraid to get your feet wet as the water is lovely and warm,
the difference is immense between the HTC desire and samsung s2 and note, I had the desire hd and I wouldn't go back to one, I upgraded to an s2 and won't go back to a dhd then I upgraded to a note and now I won't go back to an dhd or an s2, honest you won't be disappointed, also I will have more roms than you can shake a stick at, especially the s2.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I had been an HTC desire user myself. Its a good phone. When you are looking for an upgrade, think you have to take a look at the S3 in terms of
- advancements
- stock ics
- screen size (4.7in) with good ppi compared to S2.
- maybe better battery life (due to larger battery ,better processor)
If you are looking of good development in the XDA
- i will suggest to take a look at the S2 section as there is gr8 development.
I like my G-Note but would suggest the size of S3 or even the S2 as appropriate for a smartphone.

I've had the white and loved it. I had to sell for financial reasons, but recently picked up a black one and honestly there both beautiful. A nice sgp screen protector takes the worry out of scratches so either choice is great. Black to me looks professional and white looks Hollywood your amazed every time you see it

Should I keep this or go for the Xperia T?

I really wanna like this phone. The amazing screen, working GPS, the fact its endorsed by Google, always the latest updates. Well i'm sure I don't have to tell everyone here why to love this phone.
But then theres the glass back... poor battery... the size of it! I come from a samsung s2 and thats 4.02 from what i know. And this Nexus sure is big compared to that... having owned a Note 1 I never wanted to go big again! Thats why i'm wondering about the Xperia T. Its a much smaller upgrade over the S2 but the phone is smaller too. And i'm not really sure how unlockable it is even though I think Sony's android stuff is pretty good.
Thoughts people?!

I would not change this phone for Xperia T. It's downgrade in every aspect. I've had it before N4. The screen viewing angles and blacks are terrible and it was creaking after a week. Terrible build quality.
Odesláno z mého Nexus 4 pomocí Tapatalk 2

Are you mad? Downgrade in absolutely every aspect. Not to mention Sony sucks big time when it comes to upgrading OS. I had Note1 before and I think N4 is small in comparison.
You'd be doing yourself a big disservice.

My other half had an Xperia T. It has a better camera than the N4 but the N4 is better in every other way including battery life.

For me the battery has been good. I usually get around 3-4 hrs screen time on. I`m on stock and unrooted. I don't want to root because when I had the epic 4g, I always wanted to have stock. And the closest thing was Cyanognemod which rocks! The best thing about this phone is that your always going to have fast updates and no carrier bloatware or skins.

N4 to enhance your life, have state of the art device, and XDA support!

Xperia T is way worse than the N4. I also believe that it will cost more.
Sony's upgrade policy regarding "old" phones is awful. I had my Xperia Ion, which was one of the very first line-ups of the new Sony brand. Was waiting for Android 4.1.2 in june while Xperia T had it, and 4.2.2 had been out since november. I switched to my N4 then, and was happy forever.
Now that Xperia Z and his little/big brothers are out, Xperia T is just old compared to it. So don't expect further upgrading from Sony, except minor updates (which don't come often)

First of all I would say the nexus 4 is better and you should keep it and if you still want a smaller phone with bigger battery life I recommend Xperia SP it has a bigger battery than nexus 4 and is smaller at 4.6 inch and it has a good camera and you can get it for the price of nexus 4

Well I've decided to keep it. Its only slightly bigger then any other phone I would pick and the battery seems to be the same as my GS2. So yay for me on owning a nexus bring on the 4.3 goodness!

4.3 is bringing better battery life anyway (Or at least that's what I have seen running the leak... I got 2 more hours SOT then when I ran franco, UVed and everything)

The size isn't hard to get used too. I came from a Galaxy Ace with a 3.5" screen, way smaller than the Nexus 4 and I was able to adapt in like one day.
Why should the glass back be a big deal? Treat your device with a little respect and don't drop it or throw it around. It's not as weak as you think and many drop tests have proven as such. If you really need to have your phone in-hand 24/7 for some reason, buy a case...
The battery isn't poor, people just like to whine. I've now owned mine for several weeks, using Bluetooth and WiFi very frequently and I can go from 10AM in the morning to midnight and still have over 30% charge left, with about 3 hours of screen time. Granted I don't use data, but even if you do it's pretty easy to turn off when you aren't using it.

I have the nexus 4 but I reckon the xperia v would be the better choice to get. I've compared xperia t and v to my nexus 4 and I came to like Sonys simple interface combined with a better camera and superior build quality. Xperia V fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and is really light in comparison to Nexus 4. Xperia V is pretty much an xperia z but the smaller version with less internal storage and it has LTE.

bought the s4 and i tried the 5s for the past 2 weeks, both phones did not make me as excited/ kiddish as the note 3.

You will love the look and feel of this phone. The weight is perfect so it doesn't feel like a brick (LG Pro), speed is fast so it doesn't get the lag (S4), big without being too big with bezels (Sony Xperia Z Ultra), OS is complete butter so it is fast (Moto X), while it lacks the external speakers (HTC One) it makes up for it with better sound quality when using head phones. Camera is excellent and video doesn't have focus issues (LG G2). Hope that explains it a little better and compares it with every new phone out right now. I have owned all the phones and didn't mention the Lumia 1020 (great camera, terrible battery and OS missing apps), Xperia Z (love the waterproof but camera terrible, Xperia ZL, same as Z, S4 Active had excellent screen and all around better than the Sony Z line for me. iPhone 5s was same as 5 for me even tho I did like the fingerprint unlock and faster burst mode camera (but not worth the upgrade IMO). Have a good day.

I am. I've been watching people in the international N3 post what an "incremental" upgrade the N3 is over the N2. It's night and day. The look, feel, updated Samsung apps, the fluidity. I'm pretty happy. I haven't gotten it all set up yet and will post something more detailed once I do. I'm coming from an international N2 and was terrified what AT&T would do to their version. All of their apps can be disabled except for the Mobile Hotspot app which I'll need anyway. And I haven't found anything missing yet except the ability to disable the Mobile Data connection. So far so good.

Where are you guys getting the phone from? AT&T says I have to wait until tomorrow.

we got our stock and demos in last night.. im in love. considering selling my s4 for this badboy now.
it definitely feels super nice in my hand, compared to the note 2. my first thought was, it felt like the original galaxy s2, the squarish feel. didnt like it right away but it has grown on me.

Happy new phone day everyone! Woohoo, am I psyched to play with my new phone. Now if work would just stop getting in the way of me having fun....and there was a custom recovery and root access...that'll come in time though, I'm sure.

I was amazed how light it is for the size, and the screen really pops. I look back at all the hand wringing about the PenTile display and realize how silly it was. Looks incredible.

[Q] HTC Sensation 4G or Nexus 4?

Dear gang, hope all of you are doing well. I need your expert opinion on something. I love my HTC Sensation 4G. Got two batteries for it, a dock, and i am always blown away by its camera. It sometimes lags (especillay when on 4g and out in the real world), but nothing that I cannot accept. The maps is glitchy as well, and I cannot use the old format after using the newer version. I have used AOSP, Carbon rom, MIUI, you name it, I have tried it.
Having said that, I just got a 16 GB Nexus 4 for 160$ from someone in 9.5/10 condition. with a good rubber case. Its fully functional, I checked. And this is where I am confused.
Should I keep the sensation 4g and sell the Nexus 4 for upto 250$ or more. Or sell the sensation 4g? My main use is social networking and using google maps etc. Which phone has the better camera? Nexus 4 or Sensation? (I feel like the Sensation 8mp is less noisy vs nexus 4 camera. please advise)
Hope to hear your thoughts on this query. Thank you for taking the time to read this. May all your devices keep running happily. :cyclops::angel:

If you are willing to root and flash custom rom it is worth to keep the N4, for the camera you can use other cameras (Focal,Snap) and battery life should be 3-4 SOT (but depends (I can get 7)), however without root N4 overheats and the battery is 3 hours tops (usually 2.5)

Hands down sell the Sensation. I owned one and the LCD panels they use in that phone are atrocious. Worst ghosting and refresh rate problems I've ever seen plus horrible viewing angles. The specs on the two phones speak for themselves. You won't regret it

And what is your take on the cameras sir? Is the Nexus 4 camera satisfying? Thank you for replying.

If you are willing to root and flash custom rom it is worth to keep the N4, for the camera you can use other cameras (Focal,Snap) and battery life should be 3-4 SOT (but depends (I can get 7)), however without root N4 overheats and the battery is 3 hours tops (usually 2.5)

personally I find it ok (almost the same) for better quality and free camera360 and LenovoSuperCamera (it is ported from Lenovo rom) I find them better for dark room photos, btw I don't know if it is the custom rom or the fact of the update to 4.2.2 and 4.3 (I rooted my phone after a week from when I got it) but I think the photo quality improved a lot with the updates (or the custom rom improvements I really don't know). But Personally I think it is not bad camera PM me and I will send you photos

What? Sensation? Never heard of that.

I hated my Sensation, was not as good as the my touch 4G. Anyway get the Nexus 4, or wait for the 5.
Why I hated Sensation:
Slow data speeds
Bad battery life
SLOW dual core, felt worse than the single cores in my Sig
Dust under the screen issue, hard to stop
Needs more RAM
Why I prefer nexus 4:
Development/support
Faster, much, like Krillin vs Ss3 goku
Better design, larger screen, etc
LTE on T-Mobile
Glass back is sparkly
Great battery
GPS has been reliable for times I needed it

There are plenty of online samples of the Nexus 4 camera shots, just check them out for yourself.

Nexus 4 absolutely. Trust us... this phone is great (although there is allways something which is not perfect and people is too demanding IMO) and kit-kat is soon

I too came from the sensation 4g. Wouldn't go back for anything.
When it comes to camera they both have an 8 megapixel rear camera and I don't notice much difference. The N4 has a better front camera.
mess around with them both for a few days. See which one "feels" best for you.

Dear gang, hope all of you are doing well. I need your expert opinion on something. I love my HTC Sensation 4G. Got two batteries for it, a dock, and i am always blown away by its camera. It sometimes lags (especillay when on 4g and out in the real world), but nothing that I cannot accept. The maps is glitchy as well, and I cannot use the old format after using the newer version. I have used AOSP, Carbon rom, MIUI, you name it, I have tried it.
Having said that, I just got a 16 GB Nexus 4 for 160$ from someone in 9.5/10 condition. with a good rubber case. Its fully functional, I checked. And this is where I am confused.
Should I keep the sensation 4g and sell the Nexus 4 for upto 250$ or more. Or sell the sensation 4g? My main use is social networking and using google maps etc. Which phone has the better camera? Nexus 4 or Sensation? (I feel like the Sensation 8mp is less noisy vs nexus 4 camera. please advise)
Hope to hear your thoughts on this query. Thank you for taking the time to read this. May all your devices keep running happily. :cyclops::angel:

Both cameras are meh. Neither have good low light quality but in good light they are pretty good. N4 being a little better to me.

I had the sensation and I would never go back to it. The nexus 4 is astonishing and a completely different phone but never the less instant updates for n4 and not for the sensation and things the devs can do is amazing.

I've had both - own a N4 now - though I thoroughly enjoyed my Sensation, I'll never buy another non-Nexus device ever again.
This is the first time I have NOT run a custom ROM on my device. 4.3 has been very good for me in terms of stability and battery life. The camera is okay - its not going to replace my DSLR, but for quick shots with decent lighting, it definitely gets the job done.
